if it takes 8 hours to fly to Singapore, stop over for an hour and a half and then fly 14 hours to London then what is the total travel time if the plane is delayed in Singapore If the plane is delayed in Singapore, the total travel time would be longer than 8 hours + 1.5 hours + 14 hours, which is the total travel time without the delay. The exact amount of time added due to the delay would depend on how long the delay is. If the delay is x hours, then the total travel time would be 8 hours + 1.5 hours + x hours + 14 hours. Good answer.
Assuming the delay is 3 hours
If my original departure was from a Timezone which is +8 utc and I departed on a Saturday. What day would I arrive at the final destination?
If the plane is delayed in Singapore, the total travel time would be 8 hours + 1.5 hours + 3 hours + 14 hours, which is the total travel time of 26.5 hours.
When you start your trip on Saturday:
- between 0:00 and 5:30 o'clock UTC+8 you will arrive in London on Saturday between 18:30 and 24:00 UTC+0.
- between 5:30 and 24:00 o'clock UTC+8 you will arrive in London on Sunday between 0:00 and 18:30 UTC+0.
With x equaling 3 hours, you can calculate your total travel time to be 8h + 1.5h + 3h + 14h = 26.5h. You notice that you will be traveling for more than 24 hours. Would you circle over your undisclosed departure airport in UTC+8 (instead of going to Singapore and onwards to your undisclosed destination), you would land 1d + 2.5h after your departure, which is a Sunday if you started before 9:30pm, and a Monday, if your departure was between 9:30pm and midnight. It then depends on your actual destination how many time zones and potentially date borders you traverse to determine the day of your arrival.
